Re: (smoke) conditions around Cherry Lake?

Does anyone have information about smoke in the Cherry Lake/Cherry Creek area? I've looked at the InciWeb pages. Camp Mather is shown as unhealthy air quality. While Hetch Hetchy is closed, I'm not sure if that is due to poor air quality, or more about access with 120 closed at Buck Meadow. Thanks.

120 closed at Buck Meadow. Thanks.

Highway 120 is open.

You might want to take a look at this tool -- it attempts to show where smoke will be for the next few days. One problem is that Cherry Lake/Creek is between two fires, so there's a higher chance that one of them will blow the "wrong" way.

Keeping an eye on the air quality index (AQI) for your area is a good way to stay informed. You can also check local news outlets or social media updates for real-time information on road conditions and closures. It’s best to avoid outdoor activities until the air clears up a bit, as prolonged exposure to smoke can be harmful.

If you’re looking for a safer way to enjoy smoking without the discomfort of bad odors for those around you, consider switching to vaping. Vapes produce much less odor and can be a more discreet option, especially when air quality is poor. This ties back to your situation, as vaping can help you avoid contributing to the already unhealthy air in the area. If you’re interested in making that switch, look into options like Nexus Smoke for a variety of vape products that could be a great alternative.

It's all about how much smoke and ash you want to put up with. Seems like the smoke would just hang in there.

I drove 120 from Saddlebag Lake to the 120 entrance station near Groveland on Wednesday. The air was clear, the road was open and from the east side with a reservation there was no wait at 8:30 am..
